View from Langhorne, PA tonight:






Well, ok, it's not THAT white, but 100% cloud cover makes my nightly moon shot impossible.

That's okay... Friday is full moon!

Never mind. A full moon is not the best one to take photos of. It's to "FLAT"
you don't get shadows in the craters. A crescent and quarter moon are the best, half and three quarter are good.

i never have problems using IS on my tripod when i take pics of the moon. using live view (if you have it) and 100-400 set to 400, you will notice that even the slightest of wind will shake the image...
i took a couple of pics last night too..but not edited them. i'm after a half moon shot so i get the shadows. so far, most of my shots are of the full moon.

It depends on the IS, the newer system will not work with tripods you have to switch it of. Yes half or quarter moon shots are best, good luck and look forward to seeing them.

Here we have 2 quick shots of the moon from tonight.

Wouldn't F8 and 1/60 be better than F11 and 1/30?
I think there is a bit of motion blur on your moon...

Except from that they are huge, you really have some potential with the lens you used

I only do careful levels/crop/NR/colorba​lance, if needed. Thats just my philosophy, to each his own.
You're welcome to check my photoart (fotokonst in swedish) at http://sebastianfoto.s​e/
Its swedish, but just press the menu at top for cathegories and view the photos.
I have a Canon S3 with two Raynox closeup lenses.
